  • The start of something new ^^

    Hello every1,
    I'm a newbie here...nice to meet u all!
    There's something I want to share about myself...

    Before knowing anything about atkins, I've been struggling wit my diet, weight n body image for a few years in my early teens... Everything became worse when I had 2 live far away from my family n study in da boarding school...That was all the loneliness, depression and stress that led to my eating disorder about one year ago. I've been anorexic n bulimic from time to time...It's a nightmare that I never want to have...but I just can't seem to get out of it...Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I see the imperfection...

    It's not easy for someone else to realise my ED cuz my weight is not fluctuated a lot or droppped down too much. It's just not about my appearance, but the person inside of me!

    However, once I thought this must be end then I told mom about it...And my family did their best to help and support me. Then I started to feel better, to love and live for myself...But it's not enough!

    As I get around and again, I face the problem that food can handle it...Food is just so comforting...I can't help it! That's when I when from 110 pounds up to 115 pounds (i'm 5'3) and yes, it's enough to make me worry all day long...I don't even wanna see myself or step on the scale anymore...!

    Fortunately, I found out about atkins diet (it's embarrassing to say that I've hardly ever heard about it b4) and decided to have a try! It's like a miracle how it works for me....I gained another 5 pounds =)))...(I guess because I didn't follow it exactly so I come here to do it again anyway!)

    But the thing is I no longer have the bad relationship with food. I eat when I'm hungry, I don't feel the craving anymore and I'm happy to feel my hands and feet warm as they were very cold due to my slow metabolism b4. I can tell it's totally a good new start for me....I don't care if I don't lose weight as long as I'm fit and healthy...

    Hope you feel the same way...

    Thanks for reading,

    God bless u all

    Welcome to ADBB. DO you mean you have gained five more since starting Atkins? DO you have the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution book? That is the version of Atkins followed here. Things that can help you lose: You should try to drink at least 64 ounces of pure water daily and make sure you eat your allowed veggies. If you need some tweaking on your food, posting your menu for us to review or following your food on fitday.com helps. Good for you for focusing on health! I feel so much better when I eliminate the crummy carbs.

    GOAL ONE 228
    (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

    It's not about the results. Its about the process.
